CHINESE CENTO.
Newspaper, Comments Regarding
the Recent Concessions.

SAN Francisco, September g.
Newspapers from China received by
the steamer Parthia, of the Canadian
Pacific line to Victoria, B. c., make
numerous references to the conces.
sions recently granted to Count Nit.
kiwiez and the Chinese-American syn.
dicate which he represents.
EPIToME OF THE CONTENTS.
The Hongkong Mail, of August s,
says: "We have very good authority
for stating that negotiations are prac-
tically closed as far as the Chinese
government is concerned and the
signing of the papers in Washington
is only formal. A new imu
perial amalgamated bank is t.
be started unless something very un-
Expected happens within the next six
months. The capital will not, at all
events, at first he 80 large as has been
rumored, but will be from 25 900 to
SO, 900 taels; but there is ample power
given under the statutes to increase
the amount to whatever figure may be
rendered necessary by the progress of
events.
TELEGRAPHs AND RAILROADS.
The various telegraph lines in China
will be Immediately amalgamated I'M
der one administration, that of the
bank, and new telephone system
will be very fully developed. The
first railway to be undertaken
will be from Peking to Canton as we
stated some weeks ago with branch
line from the Capital to Tientsen. The
concessions granted to the syndicate
extend over fifty years.
CAPTURE OF CHINA"
Under the editorial heading of
Capture Of China" the Chinese
Times denounces the policy of grant
ing such valuable franchises to for
eigners. II says: "The unfolding of
this remarkable compact will make
life in China interesting for the next
two years whether the Taotais or
not have conspired to sell their
country with the connivance of their
superiors as some of them did the
Chinese merchants steamers three
years ago"
WHO HAS THE BEST OF 1T?
Whether they have sold the too
confiding Philadelphians or have
placed their own heads figuratively
speaking on the block, are all ques-
tions which may be expected to work
themselves out by degrees, affording
in process pabulum for readers of
newspapers and food for reflection to
those who moralize OH national evo-
luton.
TWO VIEWS TO BE TAKEN.
There are two ways of looking at the
transaction. In one it is a liberal
offering to certain Chinese, enough to
turn their heads, while in another it
is smart stroke of finance ON the part
of the American syndicate, quite inde-
pendently of the valuable concessions
which it has purchased.

DIVORCE DEGREES.
Serious Oversight by Contestants
i'm Many Cases.


i'm Many Cases.
SAN Francisco, September 6.-The
examination of the records of the
Courts in this city for some twenty-five
years proves that in something like Il
thousand cases where the Court has
granted divorce and minute order
made. no decree has been signed by
the Judge and no judgment entered.
The persons interested doubtless be-
lieve that all that was necessary was
for the Court to answer orally from
the bench "divorce granted on
grounds" ETC., and the matrimonial
bonds were dissolved in law This is
only a preliminary and the law re-
quires the decree to be signed by the
Judge granting the divorce and that
this decree be entered upon the docket
before the proceedings are complete.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
In how many of the thousand
incomplete records referred to,
parties have again married who were
not legally entitled to do so, is a ques-
ton almost impossible of solution, but
there are doubtless very many such
cases. A title to a valuable piece of
property in this city is now, in ques-
ton, because of the incOmpleness of
divorce proceedings instituted many
years ago.
